The Other Woman Is Healthier And Happier Than You Are

This weekend, I watched “The Other Woman,” which is essentially all about the other woman in a relationship.

The beginning of the movie suggests you're about to watch a complete and utter fairytale.

Cameron Diaz (who took on the role of the other woman, named Carly) seems to be dating the most perfect guy in the world. He has the entire package.

He's a sexy charmer and spontaneous AF. He drives a sick Aston Martin (obviously), takes her on lavish dates in New York City, showers her with roses and makes her feel as though she's the only girl he has eyes for.

She's living the happy life, casually floating on cloud nine because she has the most incredible boyfriend in the world. Her life is pretty flawless, right?

WRONG.

Carly shows up at her man's house to surprise him, and ends up finding out he's MARRIED when his wife (Kate) answers the door.

Awkward much?

We can't help but initially despise “the other woman,” and we want to throw her under the bus. Who can blame us, though?

She's been made out to be this terrible person: someone who's selfish and evil, but overall, a cheater. How can you have a relationship based on lies, hurt and infidelity?

We empathize with the wife at the door, who's totally clueless her husband has a mistress. She thought he was the love of her life, and she the love of his.

But in the case of the movie, Carly was unaware the man she was dating was an asshole of a cheater. So, who can really blame her?

SPOILER ALERT: Carly and Kate team up together and get the sweetest revenge. Girl power prevails.

Taking major inspiration from Cameron Diaz's character in the movie, here's why “the other woman” is healthier and happier than you are.
